A BOLD PAIR
OF Youngsters Arrested Who Had COm-
mltted Many RObberies.
NEW HAVEN. Conn. !

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, July 26.
Officer Grant this morning captured two
burglars, the youngest not yet 13 years old.
They confessed to nine burglaries in the past
year, while the people of this city and the
surrounding towns have slumbered. During
the past three days. these two Jesse James
have cracked and plundered two railroad de-
pots, burglarized one store and house in
New Haven, taking booty from every place.
Early this morning the officer saw the two
boys enter deserted old building down on
Long wharf. He followed them and found
them inside changing them for a new outfit
which was stolen but few moments before.
He took them to the station where they gave
their names as George Stacey, aged 10, and
and John Brogan. aged 13.
The two boys first told Chief Bolmann a
most remarkable tale of how they had been
outlaws for year or more, foraging upon
the people at large, but he didn't believe this,
and adopting the tactics of Inspector Byrnes,
separated the boys. He obtained the follow
ing story which was corroborated by both
boys, who had no opportunity to communi.
cate with each other:
A week ago yesterday the pair escaped and
ran away from the state primary school OF
Palmer, Mass. Stacey was committed to the
Palmer school for stealing $3.50 when eleven
years old, and several other burglaries. At
this time, making good their escape from
Palmer, they walked to Stafford, Ct, where
they broke into Eaton's grocery store and
stole 81 in cash. The same night they
cracked Bucks hardware store and got two
revolvers, several knives and watches. They
sold the knives in Willimantic for sixty cents
| but having no ammunition for the revolvers
| decided they would be bad things to be found
with and threw them away in Guilford The
watch, being of little value, was thrown into
the ditch, to avoid the possibility of being
given away. They then walked to New Lon.
don and thence to Leets Island. They broke
into the depot Sunday forenoon and got SO
cents from the money drawer, moved to East
Haven depot, effected an entrance aud re.
duced the consolidated roads assets by 20
cents, all that could be found. Since SUM-
day they have been living in the building
where Grant caught them. At three this af.
ternoon they entered Jas. Clark's store, III
Meadow street, opened the safe and took out
81 cents. They ate some bananas and pro.
ceeded to search for greener pastures which
were found at Nathan Kohne's store on Con-
gress Avenue, where an entrance was had by
crawling over the transom. They got two
coats. two pairs of trousers, shirts and
suspenders. Theywere preparing to disguise
themselves in these and skip out when caught
by Grant. Chief Bolmann has telegraphed to
Palmer for information. The boys will be
tried in the city court some day this week.

FRENCH AFFAIRS.
Remarks About the Army and the Poll.
tics of France.
Paris. July 2e

PARIS, July 20.
M. Ferry, speaking at banquet at Epinal,
Monday night, dilated upon the uses of rife
societies. Such societies, he said, represent
ed practical patriotism that was silent and
hard working, patriotism very different
from the noisy, uproarious imply patriotism
favored in certain circles.
He expressed disspproval of the project to
reduce the terms of service in the army. 1t
was not national guard that France needed
but defensive army proportionate to the of
fensive forces surrounding her.
He praised the army for always remaining
aloof from politics. He denounced those
who, he said, accused the government of be-
ing anti-national because it would not allow
the mob to interfere with the deliberate ac-
ton of the duly constituted public powers,
nor follow the mob behind the car of god
of the music hall.
What did France the greatest injury in the
eyes of Europe, was internal divisions and an
apparent government of monarchy. He con-
cluded by drinking to 'the republic, uniting
under its patriotic banner all the republicans,
all Frenchmen-" The toast was received
with enthusiasm.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is foe to good ma
ture.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular
habits, and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American people
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flour has done won-
derful work in reforming this sad business
and making the American people so healthy
that they can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember-No happiness without health.
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your
druggist for bottle. Seventy.fve cents.
